Declarations
:
: Approval was obtained from the ethics committee of University of Ontario Institute of Technology (REB #: 14991). The procedures used in this study adhere to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki.
: This randomized control trial demonstrated a reversal in altered neurophysiology of the cervico-ocular reflex (COR) in individuals with subclinical neck pain (SCNP) following 8-weeks of chiropractic care, whereas, the SCNP control group demonstrated a continual increase in COR gain. The downregulation in the COR response in the treatment group, to levels previously found in healthy individuals, is likely due to normalized proprioceptive information from the neck enabling improved processing and integration within the cerebellum.
: Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study.
: The authors declare no conflict of interest
